Ode to My Beloved

(A non-Horatian Ode)

©October 9th, 2015

By Vijaya Sundaram

You are the route I would like to traverse,

My beloved, companion of my days and life.

Your beautiful smile the lamplight

And your veins tracing your blood

To your heart, the mysterious tracks

To you.

A road so beautiful, your skin, and

Your body, that maps

All that life threw at you

And folds it into a new wrinkle!

Your voice is the breeze that wafts

Songs my way, as I set my face

You-wards.

And your love, the North Star

Guiding me home

To you.
